Seattle U’s Garcia to declare for draft

Seattle University forward Charles Garcia will declare for the draft after playing one season for the Redhawks. The story was first reported by Foxsports.com.

“There may be a handful of players in the country who have as much upside as Charles,” Seattle U coach Cameron Dollar said. “I am extremely proud of how he has grown and developed throughout the year. I support his decision 100 percent and look forward to watching him reach his tremendous potential in the NBA. I will be forever grateful for all he has done for the university and our basketball program.”

The versatile forward had a solid season with Seattle U. Garcia finished averaging 18.7 points and 8.3 rebounds for the Redhawks. While he showed dominance, like when he scored 41 points against Wofford, he was also often limited by foul trouble.

At one point, he was removed from the starting lineup by coach Cameron Dollar.
